Our take on Saw Lab
Rather than centering on combat or exploration, this action-adventure places bodily danger, environmental traps, and forced decisions at the core of progression. Its structure replaces conventional level clearing with a sequence of survival tests where choosing a door can determine the ending.
What is Saw Lab?
Saw Lab is a survival game set in a dark laboratory where the player begins shackled and must respond to a televised demand to cut off a leg for freedom.
Progress involves finding keys and codes, escaping monsters, avoiding spike and bear traps, navigating death mazes, crossing laser-filled rooms, and locating a gas mask for a hazardous environment. Doors can lead to safety or deadly traps. The game combines puzzles, quick reactions, logical decisions, and branching outcomes. Its presentation uses a gloomy soundtrack and visual effects to maintain tension, while the story can reach unexpected endings based on the player's choices.
